Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Ferryside is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ferryside are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ferryside you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ferryside may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My solicitor (based 300 miles from merequires that I execute a statutory declaration prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Ferryside to attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Ferryside
